@Uncle Michael
There simply is no authentic two-syllable pronunciation. You only here it in certain songs where the lyricist needed an easy rhyme. My mother-in-law is a fine daughter of New Or-lee-uns, and so I come by my pronunciation honestly.

@Parq
It all depends on what you baited it with.

Sorry, Doug. I've heard "Nawlins" countless times in the Big Easy. Just because your mother's people don't employ that linguistic variant, it's no evidence that it doesn't exist. I'm afraid we part company on this point.

Yes of course you are right. I MEANT to say there is no self-respecting THREE-syllable pronunciation. The two- and four-syllable versions separate the mother-in-laws from the boys.

@Doug & Uncle Micaheal:
Back in the late 1980's, a friend from St. Louis moved to New Orleans to work and learn in the kitchens of restaurants. After being there for a month or two, she reported a 2 syllable "Nawlins" and at least two 4 syllable "New Or-lee-uns" pronunciations, one with the accent on the last syllable, and others with it on other syllables. She said the 3 syllable ones are used by tourists.

Clean the leeks by slicing them lengthwise and running them under water until all the layers are clean. Roughly chop into 1 inch pieces. In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the leeks, and cook over medium heat until they start to soften. Add the wine, and cook until absorbed. Add the cream, and cook until absorbed. Salt to taste and remove from heat. Meanwhile, chop the bacon into bite sized pieces and fry until cooked but not too crisp (it cooks further in the oven). Brush each pizza crust with olive oil. Arrange the leeks, the cooked bacon, and crumbled goat cheese over the top of each pizza. Bake at 500 degrees 15 minutes

Me, too, search. Indestructible Beat of Soweto....wait a second, I says, I got that, ain't I? And I goes lookin', and I just found it....a cassette. And I will be listening to it later for the first time in years. This show and its comments have stirred the pile and starred the tape and cleaned the leeks and unbated the beat.

There are two trombones on this tune. One is a contrabass trombone! (performed by Gérard Buquet. The other trombonist is played by Radu Malfatti who I know from all those great Brotherhood of Breath records.)

Looks like NO tomato sauce on the leek, bacon & goat cheese pizza. I think I will be going with prosciutto instead of bacon. Everyone OK with that?

Arhoolie, the fruits of another great record store, one which happens to be in my neighborhood in the Bay Area. Down Home Records, like DMG, is also a wonderful joint for hanging out on do-nothing afternoons. I'll defer to Jeff G. re: directions to DMG, which I visited in January. It is not too far from a couple stops, but it's in Chinatown, downstairs. Bruce and Manny have had, I think, three sites. The shop is deceptively tiny. And they feature live shows most Sundays.

Doug, There is an acclaimed joint in El Cerrito, aptly dubbed Best Burritos, that doesn't do too badly. The owner is a fully trained Korean chef, though. For my money, though, you can't beat Molcasalsa on Beach Blvd. 450 miles south in La Habra. Probably can't make it there during a lunch hour, though.

Doug, Funny you mention Big Sur. I took the family to La Habra last week (and yes, we did visit Molcasalsa), and I considered returning via Big Sur, but I chickened out. In tribute, last night I played Charles Lloyd's Notes from Big Sur. But again, for burritos aim south to Los Angeles. There is, however, awesome Mexican fare nearby in Concord (once home of the eponymous record label, as long as we're making those connections!).

Kim Chee is a good thing to get when going out or buying from a vendor as opposed to preparing at home, because after preparing it at home, the smell that stays is not the most aromatic.

How does that Tom Waits lyric go?" "Stinks like Hell and the neighbors complain, I don't give a hoot what they say!" But that is for a different recipe.
